Missy Paige

Oh boy is Paige changing everyday. I love watching her grow and experience new things. As you can see, our little one has received a new tooth. We are up to 7 and still counting. She seemed to handle this last one a bit better then the others. I was trying to get her to smile at me so I could see her cute little chompers, but she decided to act shy. I couldn't resist snapping this pic. Paige has also discovered shoes. She doesn't like wearing her own shoes, but she likes to wear and play with other's shoes. I found her the other day working really hard trying to get into Doug's shoes. When she finally got both feet in she was super proud of herself. She looked at me and it was like she was saying, "See Mom, I told you I could do it." I sure do love this little munchkin.

Fun

Yup, she got another one. Piper has been doing odd jobs around the house to earn money. She wanted a new doll and Doug & I told her she could get one if she paid for it herself. She worked really hard for a couple of months and finally saved enough money to buy Dot Starlight. She was so proud walking into the store with her wad of $1.00 bills. She went right to the doll section, picked up the one she wanted and went to the checkout stand. When the teller gave her the total, she handed over her money and said, "this should cover it." The teller and I both burst out in giggles. I can't believe how big my little girl has gotten. I am so proud of her for setting a goal and sticking to it. Another new thing Piper has discovered is Just Dance for the Wii. The weather has been so crappy here lately that we all have had a bit of cabin fever. I was trying to think of something active we could do in house and remembered the Just Dance game my mom had got for me. I had played it but Miss Piper hadn't. She absolutely loves it! She has actually gotten pretty good at it. I don't know where she got her rhythm from, because I know it's not from me. I love to see her jumping around and smiling. We can't wait for the good weather to arrive, but until it does, we know we can have a dance party and that is okay with us.

Guess Who?!?!?

As all of you know now, Piper loves Lalaloopsy dolls. She is obsessed with them. She loves each and every one of them and wants to collect the whole lot. Well the newest doll out is a boy named Patch Treasurechest. When I heard he was being released, I thought he would be pretty easy to find. Boy was I wrong. I started my search by checking all of our local stores - no one had him. I then went on-line. Again, out of stock. I resorted to calling stores when I knew they got trucks in (yes, I know a bit crazy) and still no Patch. I finally decided that I was making myself crazy and decided to quit looking and just give the little bugger some time to make it to Boise. Well, low and behold, Grandma Toni called me on a Saturday night. She had to run to Wal-Mart for something and there was Patch, in Burley, all by himself. She snagged him up right away. As you can see, he has found a good home. Piper was so excited to see him and add him to her collection. Thank you Grandma for hunting and finding Patch for us!

St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We didn't do a whole lot to celebrate, but we did start out our morning with green pancakes. Both girls were a bit unsure about the color, but once they tasted them they thought they were ok to eat. We wore green for the day (I never got pics of that) and we also made cupcakes and decorated them with green sprinkles. All in all it was a fun day.

This Face

I can't always get her to look at me but I just love capturing this little face. Sometimes I think the closer the better.

Oh Paige

One of Paige's newest tricks is crawling up on the couch. This is how I found her the other night - chilling on the pillow with my cell phone. So cute!

My Girls

My girls are the best! They are so much fun to have around. I just love to see how much they love each other. These were taken after Piper's kindergarten orientation. I can't believe how big she has gotten. She is so excited to start school. I am going to miss having her around all the time, but she tells me that I am going to be fine and she will hang out with me after school. What a doll.

Snuggles

Just wanted to share these cute pictures of Paige and Doug. Paige is started to give kisses - big wet open mouth kisses. They are the best!

Standing and New Tooth!

Yes we have a stander! Paige can now stand unassisted. She isn't walking alone yet, but we are headed in that direction!

Paige also has a new tooth!!!

Our Little Model!

Yesterday Piper had to opportunity to model a fun new dress for Miss Lala of Shady Lane Studios. She had so much fun playing up and getting her picture taken. Here are just a few that I have seen so far. I can't wait to see the rest of them!
